Randal Lane’s Success Story

When I left the hospital after having a broken hip replaced, I could not do anything. The therapy department at MediLodge of Monroe is one of the reasons I wanted to go there. The therapy here is excellent. The people that give me therapy are very kind and understanding. Now that I am almost ready to go home, I have learned the proper way to use a walker without being afraid of it. I am also getting stronger! I would like to thank the team in therapy for everything they have done for me.

Thank you so much for taking care of me, I heard good things and they were all right!

Everything was nice and all the people are really nice. Some team members who really stood out were Brandy (Nurse), Tanetria, Baily Lauren, Mary, Mrs. Linda Fave, and Tassen. Everyone was good to me and I love all of these people, including the therapy people.

When I arrived at MediLodge on Wednesday, May 12th, I was unable to walk, stand or put any weight on my right foot. I was very worried as I am a very active person. The first time I was asked to walk with a walker from my bed to the door, it was painful. My improvement has been wonderful and I am so happy. Everyone here had been great help in my recovery and I couldn't have done it without my girls. My therapy has gone very well and I am able to walk, stand and my goal was to walk out of here. I am doing just that. Thanks to everyone!

A thank you to all staff, aides, and therapists for their help getting me back to normal! Although, most would say normal for me is sometimes questionable!! When I first came to MediLodge of Monroe, I needed help getting dressed and getting into bed. Now, I can do both with no help! This has given me great confidence to do things. Thank you!!

Thank you, MediLodge of Monroe, for taking care of me! I am so happy to be strong enough to go home!

 

I would like to recognize Kerri Georgia who works in the 400 Hall of the Alzheimer's unit. My aunt Bernetta Brooks is a patient. When Kerri is in charge of Bernetta, she is so put together, clean and happy. I feel Kerri is the Epitome of how a caretaker should do their job. She seems so kind, gentle and genuine, for all these reasons I feel she deserves recognition. The job of caregiving is sometimes thankless, and I am sure caregivers can become not as compassionate and caring on the job. It really makes Bernetta's family feel so much better when we see her looking and feeling good. I bring my mom who is Bernetta's older sister. She is 87 years young, and at times when she has seen her sister in not good condition; it really takes a toll on her emotionally. So I am so happy when we have a good visit. So from all of Bernetta's family members; THANK YOU, KERRI for your EXCEPTIONAL CARE AND KINDNESS.
